Hepatitis C is a liver disease that is caused by hepatitis C virus. The virus enters into the liver cell‚ use the cell’s genetic to make copies of itself which then affects more cells. Causes Hepatitis C is usually transmitted through blood to blood contacts. It can be transmitted by sharing needles when injecting‚ toothbrushes and razors‚ tattoo or body piercing with equipment that has not been properly sterilized. It can also be sexually transmitted. It is not passed on by everyday contact

components within certain cells confer their ability to regenerate or antagonize cellular differentiation into specific cell types‚ we can change these components to make our cells have regenerative properties. To understand this‚ we examine cells of the germline‚ called germ cells. These "parent" cells of sperm and egg cells have the ability to become any cell type of each subsequent generation‚ and are thereby totipotent. This totipotency essentially makes germ cells immortal and comes in part

Similarities: 1st point - they were both being held against the will during at least one point in their story. 2nd point - they were both always being watched. They couldn’t do anything without everyone knowing about it. 3rd point - they both ended up at the end of the story ended up being left alone. Truman got to leave

The aim of our experiment was to see how much DCPIP was needed to be added to make the orange juices turn back to the orange colour and the DCPIP to decolourise once the 0.1% of vitamin C was added. DCPIP is a blue dye in its non-reduced form; it becomes colourless when it gains electrons. Vitamin C is an anti – oxidant‚ this is found mainly in fresh fruit and vegetables. The main use of Vitamin C is that it neutralises free radicals‚ which can cause damage to cells‚ including

Hepatitis C 12/02009 By: Shuntrice Hannah Abstract Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is difficult for the human immune system to eliminate the virus from the body‚ and infection with HCV usually becomes chronic. Over decades‚ chronic infection with HCV damages the liver and can cause liver failure in some people. The hepatitis C virus is transmitted mainly by contact with blood or blood products. The Sharing of contaminated needles

Hepatitis C Virus Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver‚ which can be caused by several different viruses. It can also be acute or chronic‚ depending on the particular virus and stage of the disease. The different types of hepatitis are hepatitis A (HAV)‚ hepatitis B (HBV)‚ hepatitis B- associated delta (HDV)‚ hepatitis C (HCV) (Porth 2005). These viruses are capable of being transmitted in many different ways but each one will instigate a viral response and inflammation within the liver

Hepatitis C has been referred to as a "Silent Epidemic‚" since it usually progresses slowly over many years. Most people who are infected with hepatitis C are not aware of any noticeable symptoms for as long as one to two decades after they are infected. In fact‚ by the time symptoms appear‚ the virus has probably already begun to damage the liver. If the liver is injured and stops functioning‚ death will always be the outcome (Lieber). Liver failure from chronic hepatitis C is one of the most common
